Qeeboo - A New Generation Brand

During the 14 th century, a small group of young poets from Florence (Guido Cavalcanti, Guido Guinizzelli, Lapo Gianni, Dante Alighieri, Cino da Pistoia) were the first to stop the Middle Age with its dogmatic and useless theologies in order to talk about Love, about Women (which may have never even existed, just like Petrarca’s Laura), about their diversity from the Byzantines, becoming witnesses of a generation without a clear destiny… By inventing the Women, they also invented the New Men.

Dante, the Father, coined for them this magical name, which changed not only poetry but also the history of the world… As a matter of fact, all great things always come from little ones, apparently useless and redundant; from a title and sometimes by chance. The Dolce Stil Novo of Design is founded on a figurative and narrative matrix, completely different from the one of the commercial markets, but maybe even more invasive than that, herald of a new feminine and masculine sensitivity: less testosterone, more irony, more simplicity. An innocent Design and therefore braver.

Qeeboo - Empire Lamp Metal Finish - Silver - Qeeboo Free Standing Lamp by Studio Job

Inspired by the Studio Job’s “Robber Baron” bronze sculpture from 2008, this much more simplified version is an 85-centimeters-high reduced model of the Studio Job icon. “Empire” expresses Job’s fascination for landmarks and their meaning. “It speaks of the meaning of iconic buildings in our culture and the power that is housed within these huge buildings or landmarks” explains Job Smeets, “in this piece are melding strong yet different referential architectures”. From the Parthenon in Athens on the base to the Empire State Building in New York and the Capitol Building in Washington on the top.
